    How many wine kills have you had Captain Buzz Cooler?

  2. My wife is a descendant of the Vezina family. I was hoping my boys would become goalies but they never enjoyed skating.

    Wow for some reason I thought this was ”more recent” than this. If I got asked ”when did Vezina play?” I would have answered the 1940s. The more you know I guess hahaha

    I traded for him in OOTP’s Franchise Hockey Manager game so he was still alive in my universe.

    Crash Course just uploaded a great [video lecture](https://youtu.be/7D-gxaie6UI) on tuberculosis including a great section on how this disease was viewed historically, for those who might be interested 🙂
